New Balance V3 All-Black Low-Cut Umpire Base Shoes

Lightweight yes, but could be a little more supportive for big guys (230 lbs). Clean up well.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, quality, all black athletic field shoe, look no further. The comfort of this shoe will exceed your expectations - and, the clean up time is almost non-existent; it’s basically, wipe and go. In my opinion, as an after thought, the shoe runs a tad narrow, so size up a size on the width and you’ll be good-to-go.

Great lightweight shoe for field work. They are comfortable and fit great. I wear a "D" width and the fit leaves just enough room for extra socks or air circulation. These shoes clean up really well.

Great shoe. Cleans up well and shines.

This shoe is very comfortable and lightweight; the only negative is they run narrow, I had to return it for the next size up in width. I wear a size D in width but for this shoe, I needed a 2E.

Lightweight and very comfortable.

These are my first New Balance shoes. So far, so good. They shine up well. I replaced the sole with arch support and better padding. I usually wear a size 12 normal width, but I feel I could've gone with a wide for a little more room side to side.

I normally like New Balance shoes and they usually are true to size. I am a 4E width and when I ordered the field shoes in 4E width they came in and they felt like they were 2E width shoes, so I had to return them. Sadly I am still looking for field shoes and have yet to find a pair that fits my wide feet.

These look good and feel good too. Very sharp. I recommend them.

These are very comfortable base shoes. I have been using these shoes for several years and they wear well.

These shoes fit true to size. They are extremely comfortable out of the box. Umpired for two hours on my feet and they felt great.

Most comfortable shoes to date, good looking and easy to clean!

Most comfortable umpire base shoe I’ve had. Also, like the look of all black. Worth the investment.

Thank God these all-black shoes are back in stock! Mizuno and Nike use a one size fits all (Men/Women/Kids) compression narrow last that requires a normal man to order two sizes long, and even then, the shoes need to be stretched laterally with a shoe stretcher (at least for me) to avoid pain. Tried to replace these with an all-black Nike lacrosse turf shoe that, after hours on the shoe stretcher, still hurt my feet after a game. Got these last week in 2E. Aaaaahhhh!

I have been a New Balance fan for years. I own four New Balance sneakers and the V3 Mid cut umpire plate shoe. This low-cut V3 shoe is very stylish and easy to clean. I wear size 10 with a standard width in my shoes, ALL my shoes. The problem with this shoe I have, is that the size 10 is too small. I have worn them three times and they have been painfully uncomfortable. They are too short, especially on my right foot. I have had to order a size 10.5 in order to hopefully have them wear comfortably. Since I have worn them three times I doubt I can return them. This is not what I expect from New Balance.

Great quality and best shoe when needing X-wide sizes (4E). Great customer service and stock when it comes to Ump Attire.

My previous field umpire shoes has been discontinued, so I purchased these field umpire shoes to use as a backup. These are as close as I could find to my current pair of shoes, which should work.

Good and comfortable fit. Worth the price.

Great base umpire shoe. The only ones I can wear due to very wide feet. I did have to go up a 1/2 size from my usual New Balance sneakers.

I have a wide foot but not too wide...the middle width is just great. Light show and very comfortable. Did a doubleheader on turf and it’s got plenty of support and really impressive for a light shoe. Great fit and better feel.

Sizing was a pain. (Reason for the low rating) Every pair of New Balance I’ve owned over the years have been 10 1/2 wide 2E. Always fit, never a problem. These, not even close. I read the reviews about sizing up and ordered a 11 wide 2E. Not even close. Foot was crunched. Sent them back and ordered 11 1/2 extra wide 4E. Perfect. They feel good, game time will tell. Size up or you’ll be returning them. Hope this helps.

Great shoes so far, well built, easy to clean (which is great!) and comfortable. As far as ordering, I would suggest ordering up a size and if you're on the border of having wide feet, go wide! I originally ordered these in the standard fit 11.5 (which is my normal shoe size, never have worn anything "Wide" or non-standard before) but when the 11.5 showed up, it was way too small (narrow) and a tad small in length. I picked up the 12 in the EE width, and it is perfect; allows for double-sock, super comfortable so allows for long days with multiple games if needed. Also, the return/exchange program with them was top-notch - SUPER easy to return and get refunded for the pair that didn't fit. Giving 5 stars for not only the shoes, but the exchange policy and quick turnaround.

Lightweight and comfortable. Great pair of shoes for baseball/softball and football.

Wears really well. Feels comfortable. Still breaking them in.

Very comfortable. Excellent umpire base shoes.

Super comfortable. Have warn behind plate as well when I forgot my plate shoes and they worked fine. The only thing I don't like on these is the cloth part which gets to be super hard to clean. Overall, great product though.

Very comfortable base umpire shoe. I have worn them for 12 games so far and they have held up flawlessly!

Very comfortable on the field.

A comfortable umpire base shoe and one of the few that have the wide option. I like the new insole they put into this version of the shoe. It's also getting harder to find a shoe that is all black and non-cloth.

These base umpire shoes are comfortable and easy on the feet. I worked in really wet conditions with little issue.

Shoe runs smaller than the indicated size.

I love these umpire base shoes. They are very very comfortable and I will definitely buy these again when I need another pair of base shoes.

These are the most comfortable field shoes. Full stop. True to size. Easy to clean. Comfortable even after a full day on your feet. Highly recommend.

Great Fit. Comfortable. Easy to clean. So glad I added these to by umpire gear.

I needed a second pair of base shoes for umpire school. These will be my primary base shoes this year. The fit and feel of them are great, and they are easier to clean than the V2.

I purchased the New Balance V3 all black low-cut base shoes. I had to wait a little while for my 4E size 11's to become available, but I was promptly notified by Ump-Attire.com when they were back in stock. No baseball in CT for a few months, so I've been wearing them a bit here & there to gauge how they feel (look good enough to wear to work!)...they're awesome! I especially like the reduced amount of mesh fabric on the newer model - looks great and should clean up easily when necessary. Ump-Attire.com, these NB shoes are highly recommended!
